The fact that Caster Semenya is STILL being mentioned, tweeted about, getting coverage and on the lips of spectators at the

in a race & competition she was not allowed to compete in should tell you how much of a disgrace and an injustice her not being there truly is.
What I find so hilarious about this vasectomy conversation is that men are upset with other men for making choices about their bodies but can’t understand why women have been outraged about female body autonomy & fighting for reproductive rights for decades 🙄
There’s nothing quite like that first sleep in fresh linen. You sleep different & then your whole perspective of life changes the next morning, you know?
my Oupa celebrates his 90th birthday today in lockdown & I can’t see him so, I’m celebrating him here instead with all of you. Bodybuilder, Mechanic, Engineer, and full on LEGEND! 🎂
Cannot express how anxious I get when people randomly invite other people to plans that weren’t included & then try to soften the blow with, “oh! They’re just popping by”. NO! They can’t! I didn’t mentally prepare for more people than what was agreed. Make them leave! 😭
I can’t actually even understand how this is the SAME couch. WHAT?! She’s earned, and deserves, a new name 😍

A couple of weeks ago I sent my affectionately known ‘Crack Den Couch’ in for reupholstery w/ a reference image. I thought she had good bones until they stripped her bare to discover her wood was vrot and she required an entire rebuild... she’s coming home today 😬
“we’re the fathers of the bride” line brought me so much joy. I grew up watching all of Steve Martin’s films as a kid and the nostalgia shot me through the heart.

watching the ‘Tina’ documentary and let me tell you, in case you didn’t know, Tina Turner is a mf class af badass, powerhouse, DAMN GODDESS!!! She is, quite simply put, THE BEST! 🔥🔥🔥
as a kid, my mum would always measure excitement leading up to a big event, holiday or occasion by ‘sleeps’. Well, as of today, I have only 3 more sleeps until she arrives in South Africa & I’m reduced to being 5 again.
For the first time (in maybe ever?) I feel like I’m supposed to. Thank you
@ingasebata
for making my maxi skirt & for making me feel beautiful while I celebrate with my friends. 💙
I’ve been looking around for the perfect photo ledge for months and eventually just decided to get it made to spec.
@MattYoungZA
chose the most incredible piece of Kiaat for my custom 2.2m wall feature & it has so much character already. If you want one, DM him 👌🏽
I’ve moved 20 times in the last 14 years since the age of 18: From Joburg to London-Surrey-Portsmouth (UK), back to Cape Town and then Joburg where I’ve been back for 12 years to build a career.
For my next move, the BIG 21, I’ll be heading to Canadaland. Byezit for nowzit 🥃
The rate of infection has dropped from 43% to 4% on average for daily COVID-19 cases. We’re affecting change whether you feel it or not. A 2 week extension of lockdown is essential. I feel prouder than ever to be in this with all of you in S.A.

Repeat after me:
I do not owe anyone, or even myself, an explanation on why I need a break.
I do not need to earn rest.
I will not feel guilty for rest.
Rest is not a reward.
I need rest.
I deserve rest.
Never in a million years did I think I’d be featured by Getty. I’ve been in awe of the photographers that have contributed to Getty since I was a kid & to be recognized amongst 8 other incredible photographers for storytelling is mental.
#TheLockdownScript
is a new Photography Project I’ve started working on. It’s what I’m calling an ‘Instagram Photo Documentary’ and I would be grateful or your support 🙏🏽 For some details, click through the highlight: I’d love your feedback
Mum sent me an email this week ahead of me heading home on Thursday...
1. Subject Title 😂
2. See point 4
3. A WHOLE LIST OF DO’S (AND DON’T)
4. Please read ‘Don’t’ 😤
The fact that so many people have NEVER witnessed a successful charge-down interception makes what Cheslin Kolbe did 1000% more impressive & historical. The timing. The pace. The block. This was PURE FOKKEN MAGIC! 🔥
Today is the first day we’re testing out ‘Teams-Free-Wednesday-Afternoons’ from 12PM which is basically putting everyone on pause, and giving us the focus time we need to tackle admin, big projects, reviews etc without interruptions or meetings. Imagine. 😍
There’s something about what the UK has done, that doesn’t sit right with me on a few levels. It’s so much more than just a travel ban to S.A but the implications this has on our country’s tourism, families, economy and also our reputation of being an “unsafe destination”.
A year ago today I moved into my new apartment during a whole pandemonium. I don’t wish that stress on anyone so here’s a mini-makeover photoset 😊
- Ms McCaw (the crack den couch rebuild)
- Open kitchen shelves
- Custom built tables + lamps + photo ledge
- Sunset by nature ✨

I’ll send new porn 👀
Went to check in the paint progress today and let me tell you, white has changed the space from 70s underground smoke lounge to cute retro. Excited to get in FINALLY! Two before (previous tenant) and two in progress.
Today is a special day for Hurricane Gaily-Waily (my mum), for a few reasons:
1. It’s her birthday! 🎈
2. It’s her 60th
3. It’s the first birthday we’ve been able to share together since 2009
4. We’re going to eat cake at 9am 🎂
Your weekly reminder that being happy for the success of your friends (in business or in life) does not detract from your happiness, goals or wealth. Your time will come.
🧵I arrived in Calgary 3 months ago today.
So much has happened. It’s been overwhelming but I get to reflect on what I’ve experienced and what I’ve done so far. I wanted to share my highlights with you. Some are big & some small but I’m proud of them all the same.
during my week off I’m trying to remind myself of these things:
1. You don’t need to do everything all at once
2. You don’t need to fill every waking hour with a task
3. Use energy on things that make you happy
4. Afternoon naps are encouraged
5. Fill the snack cupboard 🍿
